Research Data means recorded information, regardless of form or the media
in which it may be recorded, which constitute the original observations and
methods of a study and the analyses of these original data that are necessary
for reconstruction and evaluation of the Report(s) of a study made by one or
more Investigators. Research Data also includes all such recorded information
gathered in anticipation of a Report. Research Data differ among disciplines.
The term may include but is not limited to technical information, computer
software, laboratory and other notebooks, printouts, worksheets, other
media, survey, memoranda, evaluations, notes, databases, clinical case
history records, study protocols, statistics, findings, conclusions, samples,
physical collections, other supporting materials created or gathered in the
course of the Research, Tangible Research Property, unique Research
resources such as synthetic compounds, organisms, cell lines, viruses, cell
products, cloned DNA as well as genetic sequences and mapping information,
crystallographic coordinates, plants, animals and spectroscopic data, and
other compilations formed by selecting and assembling preexisting materials
in a unique way.

Libraries and Data
Library and information professionals:
• need to become more involved with semantic
web or users will reinvent wheel (i.e. ontologies)
• have the interpersonal and subject specialization
for reference/consultation that IT doesn't have
• continue to help users find the information they
need.
